2017 Ford F-150 Raptor 450 hp & 510 lb-ft of torque

[8_1_Van]

According to the forum user, the Raptor's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine will generate 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. That's 39 horsepower and 76 pound-feet of torque more than the outgoing generation's 6.2-liter V8. A similar 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine can be found in the new Ford F-150 where it makes 365 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, making Raptor's leaked figures believable. The same forum user also managed to get pictures of the Raptor's maximum towing capacity, which will come in at 8,000 pounds, the same amount as the previous generation.

Looks like a fast tow vehicle.

Maybe someone who know how will make this a clicky.
Guess I should learn.

OMG, a twin-turbo 5.0 for 2018 !



The F-150 Raptor will also receive the upcoming EcoBoost 5.0 V8 in 2018

As was the case with the previous-generation model, it will be offered in both SuperCab (extended) and SuperCrew configurations. It will get a 10-speed automatic transmission, as will all 2017 F-150s equipped with the 3.5L EcoBoost engine. It will have 3-inch Fox Racing shocks and improved travel and articulation over its predecessor. From the start, Ford promised that the high-output 3.5L EcoBoost V-6 would have more power than its predecessor 6.2L V-8. However, we didn’t know quite how much until now.

The Ford Raptor Forum, an enthusiast forum for Ford’s off-road hero, has a thread with what appears to be a photo of a computer screen that the original poster claims is advanced dealer info ahead of the truck’s official production launch. The photo clearly shows a rating of 450 hp at 5,000 rpm and 510 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm. That is 75 more horsepower than the 2017 F-150’s “regular” 3.5L EcoBoost and 40 lb-ft more torque. More importantly, it’s 39 more horsepower and a whopping 76 lb-ft more torque than the previous Raptor’s 6.2L V-8. Combined with the tighter ratios of the 10-speed transmission, as well as the second generation model’s lighter weight, the performance of the new Raptor should be formidable.

10-speed trans with 450HP 510Tq should be great at low end.

Interesting. I wonder why they do not put the ecoboost into the superduties? I don't think the gas engines put out the low end and linear torque of the ecoboost. Also, the turbos should help the high altitude towing.

In a work; duty cycle. (oh I guess that's two words) :B They just can't handle the duty cycle.

We can only hope the 5.0 gets Ecoblasted! A small block torque monster gasser would actually make me want to own a Ford..........maybe, haha.

Really?
The thing is made to Baja with. Interpreted as pretty beefed up and lower gears, etc. it is the PERFeCT tow rig save for squishy suspension.
Less than $500 to stiffen up the rear and you instantly have the most capable half ton tow rig out there. With power that rivals diesels of just 10 years ago.

Agreed though if I was going to drop the coin it takes to buy a raptor, to tow with, for the same money there'd be a Dmax or Cummins in the driveway.
But for sow one who wants fast gas super short bed with ballz, the Ecoraptor is it!

I believe the v8 ecoboost is still in testing and is rumored for the 2018 raptor, and somewhere in the 600 hp range.
The 3.5 ecoboost is already putting out around 600 hp in the ford gt.
Simple google search will get you the real numbers.
I'm very anxious to see an ecoboost v8.
My 3.5 eco happily tows my 5000 lb trailer, on mostly flat ground, in second od at 1500 rpm all day long.

Ditto, not for towing. I have a 2012 and although it's a wonderful truck, rides great, and makes gobs of power....the payload is low and the suspension is soft.

Per Car and Driver it is a 3.5 L "...No longer is there a big, iron-block V-8 under the hood, so that should save some weight right there. Yes, folks; the 2017 Raptor is EcoBoost only and the first recipient of a second-generation 3.5-liter V-6 with twin turbochargers and direct fuel injection..."

Impressive....

I believe that engine is a 5.0L Ecoboost not 3.5L. I want that engine in my F250.
